| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tryndamere | Tryndamere's Fury crits and Bloodlust healing win the level 1 auto-war. |
| Level 2 | Tryndamere | At 2 his sustained autos still beat your Q Last Rites trades. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out as your Mourning Mist (E) mark and cage let you peel. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even with cage timing offsetting his Spinning Slash aggression. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 skill holds briefly, but expect Undying Rage (R) to deny kills. |
| First item | Tryndamere | First item swings back to Tryndamere as crit autos shred you in melee. |
| Two+ items | Tryndamere | Late, his R and Spinning Slash make him the superior, un-catchable splitter. |
Tryndamere owns levels 1-2: his passive Fury builds crit chance fast and his autos plus Bloodlust healing beat your early Q Last Rites trades. Don't try to win the auto-war; farm safely with ghoul soak from Shepherd of Souls and poke with E Mourning Mist when he goes for CS.
